  1. GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  2. Version 2, June 1991
  3. Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  4. 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
  5. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
  6. of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
  7. Preamble
  8. The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom
  9. to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
  10. intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
  11. software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General
  12. Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's
  13. software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
  14. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the
  15. GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
  16. programs, too.
  17. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
  18. price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
  19. have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
  20. this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
  21. want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
  22. programs; and that you know you can do these things.
  23. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone
  24. to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These
  25. restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute
  26. copies of the software, or if you modify it.
  27. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis
  28. or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You
  29. must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And
  30. you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
  31. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
  32. (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
  33. distribute and/or modify the software.
  34. Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
  35. that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
  36. software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on,
  37. we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
  38. that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
  39. authors' reputations.
  40. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.
  41. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
  42. individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
  43. proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must
  44. be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
  45. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
  46. modification follow.
  47. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
  48. COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
  49. MODIFICATION
  50. 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
  51. notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under
  52. the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers
  53. to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
  54. means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
  55. that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either
  56. verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
  57. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
  58. "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
  59. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
  60. covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
  61. the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
  62. covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
  63. (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether
  64. that is true depends on what the Program does.
  65. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
  66. source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
  67. conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
  68. copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices
  69. that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give
  70. any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the
  71. Program.
  72. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
  73. you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
  74. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
  75. of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
  76. distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
  77. above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
  78. a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
  79. stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
  80. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
  81. whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
  82. part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
  83. parties under the terms of this License.
  84. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
  85. when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
  86. interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
  87. announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
  88. notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
  89. warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
  90. these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
  91. License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does
  92. not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
  93. the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
  94. These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
  95. identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and
  96. can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
  97. themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
  98. sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
  99. distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
  100. the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
  101. License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
  102. whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
  103. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
  104. rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
  105. right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based
  106. on the Program.
  107. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
  108. Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a
  109. volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other
  110. work under the scope of this License.
  111. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
  112. under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
  113. Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
  114. a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding
  115. machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under
  116. the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
  117. used for software interchange; or,
  118. b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
  119. years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost
  120. of physically performing source distribution, a complete
  121. machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
  122. distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
  123. medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
  124. c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
  125. to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
  126. allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
  127. received the program in object code or executable form with
  128. such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
  129. The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
  130. making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
  131. code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
  132. associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
  133. compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
  134. exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is
  135. normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
  136. components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
  137. which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
  138. executable.
  139. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to
  140. copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
  141. the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source
  142. code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source
  143. along with the object code.
  144. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
  145. except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise
  146. to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
  147. automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
  148. who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
  149. have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
  150. compliance.
  151. 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
  152. signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
  153. distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
  154. prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
  155. modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
  156. Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all
  157. its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
  158. Program or works based on it.
  159. 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
  160. Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
  161. licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms
  162. and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the
  163. recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible
  164. for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
  165. 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
  166. infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
  167. conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
  168. otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
  169. excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute
  170. so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
  171. any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
  172. distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not
  173. permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
  174. receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
  175. could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
  176. distribution of the Program.
  177. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
  178. particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply
  179. and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
  180. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents
  181. or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims;
  182. this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
  183. software distribution system, which is implemented by public license
  184. practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide
  185. range of software distributed through that system in reliance on
  186. consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to
  187. decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other
  188. system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
  189. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be
  190. a consequence of the rest of this License.
  191. 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
  192. countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
  193. copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an
  194. explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so
  195. that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
  196. excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
  197. written in the body of this License.
  198. 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
  199. versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new
  200. versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
  201. detail to address new problems or concerns.
  202. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
  203. specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
  204. later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
  205. either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
  206. Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number
  207. of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
  208. Software Foundation.
  209. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
  210. programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
  211. to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
  212. Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
  213. sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the
  214. two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
  215. software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
  216. NO WARRANTY
  217. 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF
  218. CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM,
  219. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
  220. WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
  221. HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
  222. PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
  223. EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
  224. LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
  225. MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
  226. PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
  227. PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
  228. THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
  229. COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
  230. CORRECTION.
  231. 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW
  232. OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
  233. HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
  234. AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED
  235. ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING
  236. ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
  237. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
  238. INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT
  239. LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
  240. INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
  241. PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
  242. WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR
  243. OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
  244. OF SUCH DAMAGES.
  245. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
